eh its made by russians (i think) it is set in a run down Chernobyl type industrial area, and stalker is considered one of the more "gritty" realish fps out there, so it does hit many of the "stalker" hallmarks.

beyond that there are no supernatural elements, or any connections to stalker far as i know.

but all this has made certain that i will never check out or care about this game attacking reviews and critique as "fake news' and getting stuff taken down is beyond the pale.

As with anything Beta, it's still in development. Let's hope it only needs balancing patches when launched.
I'm into the beta and honestly waiting for the offline play. I don't have the energy to pursue kit and skill levels.

I really love the concept though, so I bought one of the expensive pre-ordered to support them.
I'm quite the fan of eastern EU games. Stalker, Vampire: the masuerade, Metro, Witcher and even on some levels Survarium ( what a waste )

Why is this game considered "STALKER'ish" when I don't see anything in the gameplay that's remotely like stalker?

My bad in the mistitle. Be in mind I created the post 3 years ago before we had a more solid understanding of what the game is.
slick3 was right though, desperation for another Stalker game led to my naivety. Oh, how young and innocent I was back then.
